Hidden virus in Kids' guts: new study sheds light on CMV and IBD
NCT ID NCT07419204
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 139 children having a colonoscopy to see how often the CMV virus is found in their gut tissue and blood. Some children had inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or colitis) and some did not. The goal was to learn which tests best detect CMV in the gut, helping doctors better diagnose and treat these children in the future.
